With a foreign adversary over our own intelligence community. Republicans always falsely accuse dems and then do far worse than their false allegations.

It is bad enough that we have to be led by our noses by 1/3 of the country that will eagerly gobble up and parrot whatever bullshit that the conservative media jams into their grey matter.

But, the "middle 1/3" just passively goes along for the ride.

This country just NEVER stops indulging this bullshit.

before everybody in the country wakes up from the mess that the right-wing constantly creates in this country, before everybody stops simply accepting the s**t they've being given even though they KNOW how sick it's making them, before everybody realizes that we all deserve BETTER than what we're being given in terms of what counts as leadership in this country?


I do, constantly.

I have, and before this idiot came down the escalator 3 years ago there was a very faint hope we could get there at some point without it being too bad.

But, as horrible as I figured he'd be, he's been even worse. And I get absolutely no sense that this country is even remotely close to having a coming to Jesus moment about the GOP.

It's going to be pretty horrible, if we can get to that point.

Given the fact that Trump has been "foolish and stupid" more times than all preceding presidents?
